Merchant Payment Review

What are you paying for?
Look at the whole picture.

Transaction rates tell part of the story. Equipment, monthly charges, contract terms and the way your team works complete it. Review the arrangement before deciding whether to change.

Your current arrangement

The decision may be to stay.
Make it an informed one.

A review is useful even when changing provider is not. Understand what you have, identify the questions worth asking and consider potential switching costs before committing to a different arrangement.

  • Understand the existing provider, equipment and payment channels.
  • Compare relevant fees and terms on a like-for-like basis.
  • Identify questions to resolve before changing anything.

Before we begin

Useful questions.
Clear answers.

Will you always recommend switching?

No. Changing provider only makes sense when the commercial terms, operating fit and switching implications justify it. Retaining the current arrangement may be the sensible option.

What should I prepare?

The provider name, payment channels, approximate monthly card turnover, equipment costs and contract dates are useful starting points. We can agree any further documents during the conversation.

Do I upload statements here?

No. Use this form for a short outline only. We agree an appropriate way to share any statements or contract documents afterwards.

Can you promise savings?

No. Any cost comparison depends on the information available, transaction mix and applicable terms. We consider potential switching and exit costs too.

Does the review commit me to a new provider?

No. The initial discussion helps establish the requirement and a suitable next step. Any further review work, proposal and commercial commitment are agreed separately.
